LOUISVILLE, KY — Representative Thomas Massie has accused the Jewish population of rural Kentucky of being the cause of his primary defeat.
After taking the stage to concede the race to Ed Gallrein, an angry Massie squarely laid the blame for his loss on the "dirty Zionists" of the tiny country towns that dot the Ohio River valley.
"I couldn't reach Gallrein to concede. He was probably lost with his supporters in yet another small-town Kentucky synagogue," declared Massie. "Yes, the deck was stacked against me by the Hebrew population of rural Kentucky. We ran a great campaign, I'm really proud of our team. We just couldn't overcome the Hasidic powers that control the farm towns of Appalachia."
Watching as the votes were tallied, Massie's campaign manager Randy Barnes stated that the Congressman had performed well in a few areas, but could not overcome the losses in heavily-Jewish areas of backwoods Kentucky. "Those nudniks really put the kabash on us," sighed Barnes. "Despite Israeli influence over the little villages of Kentucky, we showed a lot of chutzpah out there on the campaign trail. Mazel tov to Ed on his victory."
At publishing time, Massie had announced that he would now pursue his lifelong libertarian dream of opening a pot store.

Trump got elected only by convincing enough people to trust him
good luck with that one again JD Vance.
Trump is a lame duck. Vance is not.
Yes. The article is satire. The shrinking tent and the young voters walking away are not.
LOL
Thanks. My eyes skipped over the heading too fast. Mea Culpa.
Yeah, Hava Nagila, Hillbillies!...................
Imagine if those comments had said “black” instead of “Hebrew”.
Just imagine.
I do Not want to be the Party of young, ignorant white nationalists. Good on you if you do.
You would have to square that with his opposition to foreign aid to Syrian rebels and to Ukraine.

Approximately 1.8 million Jewish adults, just under one-third
of the total Jewish electorate, live in twenty-five congressional districts.
National Profile of the Jewish Electorate, May 2020
Of the top twenty-five districts by Jewish population, nearly half are in New York —
NY10, NY-3, NY-12, NY-17, NY4, NY-9, NY-6, NY-8, and NY11.
The remaining districts with Jewish populations are found in seven states including Florida, California, Illinois, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Maryland, and Pennsylvania. FL-21 has the greatest number of Jewish adults at 152,000.
With the exception of NJ-4, these districts are represented by Democrats and all but two (NJ-4 and NJ-5) are Democratic-leaning districts.
American Jewish voters and campaign donors historically align with and donate heavily to the Democratic Party, with roughly 70% of Jews identifying as or leaning Democratic because of unwavering Democrat support for Jewish liberal values, such as abortions with the government picking up the tab, the gay agenda, social welfare, prayer in schools, pluralism, and church-state separation.
US Jews allegiance to the Democratic Party is driven by a commitment to liberalism, and that Democrats represents the Jewish community’s values.
Pro-Israel Tax Dollar Funding: pro-Israel lobbying groups (like AIPAC’s United Democracy Project) direct significant funding toward Democratic primaries to influence foreign policy positions......particularly foreign policy wrt tax dollar billions to subsidize Israel’s military, economy and its generous social welfare system
The majority of individual Jewish donations go to Democrats. (Pew Research Center)
It’s always the Jooooos. And if it isn’t the Joooos itmis global warming. And global warming is cause by Joooos.
😂
so those that prefer we follow the constitution are white nationalists
Le Sigh
branding everyone as racist or a a bigot is how progressives run from a debate
“You would have to square that with his opposition to foreign aid to Syrian rebels and to Ukraine.”
So he’s a purist “anti-war” Libertarian, like Rand Paul. They are not realists.
The MAGA tent has only increased over the last 3 presidential cycles. Trump won two (really three) times.
If the age-old Deep State and the age-old left are able to fool a number of young people, then the blame goes to the those young people who fall for it.
I'm optimistic though. I only see the tent increasing as we have seen up until now.
One of Massie’s biggest donors? Jeff Yass - a wealthy JEW:
“That man is Jeff Yass, who recently — and indirectly — gave $1 million to a new super PAC that in recent weeks has been advertising in support of Massie’s reelection, according to records filed with the Federal Election Commission. Those records show Yass has set aside millions more in what could potentially be used for additional independent spending to help reelect Massie...
On Oct. 20 Yass contributed a whopping $7.5 million to a super PAC called Protect Freedom Political Action Committee. This super PAC was created in 2017 by political advisors to Paul that for the past five years has gotten 95% of its money (about $35 million) from Yass...
On Oct. 23 Protect Freedom donated $1 million to the new pro-Massie Kentucky First PAC....”
“For his part, the vast majority of Massie’s donations weren’t from Kentucky. From Jan. 1 to Sep. 30, about 4.3% of Massie’s campaign haul — $53,000 of about $1.23 million individual itemized donations — was from Kentucky donors.”

The MAGA tent included people that like Thomas Massie
The turning Points and young Americans for Liberty groups had strong libertarian roots
